Lionel Phillips comes from Trangie in Central Western New South Wales, Australia - a name that means 'waterhole' in local Warradjerri Aboriginal dialect.

Lionel uses a combination of cross-hatching and dot painting in his artworks, and uses the four basic ochre colours of his ancestrial area - black, red, yellow and white. These colours form the basis of Lionels art.

Lionel travels extensivelly throughout Australia, and this is expressed in the diverse range of images he paints. Yet the essence of his art is drawn from the desert land of his country, and the stories that have been passed down to him from his ancestors.
